Heritage Wake Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 3.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Wake County average of 4.0.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,453 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Wake Forest commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $155,428, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
